In this article, Schenker is identified
primarily as a composer, though his achievements as a performer and editor are
also noted; the Erläuterungsausgabe of the late
Beethoven sonatas, of which only three of five planned volumes had yet appeared,
marks the culmination of his output as a scholar. This is to be compared with
that in the 1929 edition, in
which Schenker is described as the founder of a new school of music
theory.
